Welcome Parents and Familes!
You are the most important factor in getting students to connect with Career Services. Please encourage your son or daughter to visit early and often with a career advisor at Career Services. We see students as early as first semester and offer services to all students, graduate students and URI alumni.
Students make career advising appointments through their RhodyNet accounts.

Sponsorship: URI Career Services welcomes parent sponsorships of programs and events. A big goal is to find support to build a new facility or renovate an existing facility to present a more professional image than is offered by the current unique facility on the second floor of Roosevelt Hall. We are looking to enhance our visibility to your students and to employers with a new modern facility! For more information, contact Dr. Bobbi Koppel, Director, at bkoppel@uri.edu or 401 874-5177.
